Interacting with a lot of stupid people makes other stupid people feel superior because they don't realize how stupid they really are in the first place. They get the satisfaction of saying everyone else is stupid while being blissfully unaware that they are also stupid. These same people are the ones who think truly intelligent people are know-it-all assholes because they look like morons when compared to them. The intelligent people choose not to interact with morons and often have lower satisfaction in life because they realize there are more idiots than intelligent people and get depressed a bit.
I was going to step in and point out how big-brained I was, read your post, and have decided to Homer Simpson my way back into the hedge.
